Infinite Body Piercing is hiring

We’re currently looking to fill two positions:

We’re searching for a full-time piercer to replace Kyle, who recently left to pursue a position at 23rd Street Body Piercing in Oklahoma City. Five years shop experience is required, and current membership in the Association of Professional Piercers is a plus. If interested, contact James Weber at james[at]infinitebody.com.

We’re also looking for a POS manager to oversee our computerized point-of-sale inventory system. Applicants should be extremely self-motivated, able to manage both projects and people, be fluent with Mac OS, Excel, and have basic copywriting skills. Applicants should have prior retail experience—managerial preferred. (If you’re familiar with Lightspeed you go to the top of the list.) For more information, email info[at]infinitebody.com.

James Weber, founder and owner of Infinite Body Piercing and editor of The Point: The Journal of the Professional Piercers, has a new article up on BME News.

jameskweber:

Over the last several years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dr. Maysam Ghovanloo on the Data Safety Monitoring Board for the clinical trials of the Tongue-Drive System. This is a system that allows persons with quadriplegia to perform a variety of computer-aided tasks—including operating their wheelchairs—by changing the position of a magnet incased in jewelry worn in a tongue piercing.

I’ve written an article about the experience that has been published by BME News and will also be included in the summer 2012 issue of The Point: The Journal of the Professional Piercers, available for download at safepiercing.org starting June 1.

For everyone who has been waiting: We’ve reprinted our Wu-tang-inspired hoodies! They are Independent Trading Co. Zipper Hoodies in both charcoal heather (shown) and army heather (army green). Each print is unique in the way it lays over the zipper and pocket. Available in small to extra-large, sizes run a little big—so if you’re ordering, go a size smaller than you normally wear. These are available at the shop, or we can send it to you: $38 each, plus $8 for shipping. If you want one shipped, email us your shipping address and phone number to sales@infinitebody.com. We’ll call you back for your credit card information. These sold out fast last time, so get them before they’re gone!

iDermal, the piercing video that has gone viral: Dave Hurban from Dynasty Tattoo in Newfield, New Jersey installs four surface anchors in his forearm, screws in magnetic tops, and then uses the piercings to attach his iPod Nano. The video now has over a million views and has been featured in local news (here and here), design and tech sites (here and here) and even Reuters.

Is it a great video? Undoubtedly. Is it a great idea? Admittedly, yes. (You can’t pay for this type of publicity.) Will it work long term and—most importantly—will it heal? Probably not. Surface anchors on arms are difficult-to-impossible to heal already, and adding weight like that will almost guarantee irritation and quick rejection. This shows (again) that what makes a great video and what makes a great piercing aren’t always the same thing.
